Raspberry Pi AI Kit

The Raspberry Pi AI Kit bundles an M.2-format Hailo 8L AI accelerator with the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ to offer you access to excellent inferencing performance on the Raspberry Pi 5. The AI module is a 13 tera-operations per second (TOPS) neural network inference accelerator built around the Hailo-8L chip. The module uses the M.2 2242 form factor and comes pre-installed in the M.2 HAT+ to which it connects through an M key edge connector. The M.2 HAT+ communicates between the AI module’s M.2 interface and the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe 2.0 interface. When the host Raspberry Pi 5 is running an up-to-date Raspberry Pi OS image it automatically detects the Hailo module and makes the NPU available for AI computing tasks. The built-in rpicam-apps camera applications in Raspberry Pi OS natively support the AI module automatically using the NPU to run compatible post-processing tasks. Please Be Aware: This is a M.2 HAT+ for devices that use the M.2 specification. The SparkFun MicroMod line uses a different pinout despite fitting in the same connector as M.2 devices. The MicroMod line does not work with this HAT.
